  1. What we don't have room for at this point guys is discrimination when it comes to fans. I'd give her a shirt, in fact the one of my back. She has a microphone and access to a larger audience than any of us. Being in good with her can't be a negative no matter how you spin it. And, yes, I forgive her earlier comments because, with the exception of us, NOBODY remembers them. Plus, couldn't hurt to have SMU fans listening to her sing our praises every time they turn on the radio and realize that "congratulations on the NCAA tournament bid" and "SMU" will never be strung together.
  2. Make no mistake, I believe any time you lose to SMU or even let them hang around it is an anomaly. I don't think any of us believe that it won't take our best effort of the season and then some to have a chance to win this game. We're just happy to be playing Memphis because we too are an athletic team and we'd welcome you to run. I believe it's gonna come down to rebounding, free throws (gasp), and defensive intensity. I think that if the refs stay out of it and our starters are able to maintain for quality minutes that it'll be a better game than you guys might expect.
  3. Memphis beat Tulsa (who we also beat) 72-59 in Memphis and 69-52 in Tulsa Memphis beat Rice (who we also beat) 99-63 So, they basically blew out two teams we were able to pull out wins against. Against the team we beat for the SBC title, Arky State, they won 86-60. Of course, on the other hand, they played SMU twice this year (that would be 14 win SMU) In Memphis it was 88-52 and in Dallas it was much much closer at 64-61 This tells me that this team is highly capable of blowing you out...and occasionally will play a close one against a bad team. We are not a bad team. But their only losses on the season are Georgia Tech, Tennessee, and Arizona. We have our work cut out for us.
  4. This was the team we wanted...the only problem is all they seem to do is win lately.
  5. I'm there...had to suffer the wrath of the wife, but I'm there.
  6. Memphis a 3? They, aside from Georgetown, might be the hottest team in college hoops right now. They've won, what, 22 straight?
  7. It would seem like a natural place....but will it be?
  8. If a group of people are willing to be in the AC parking lot at 3 Zeke and I would consider tailgating.
  9. So does that mean that this year you'll be catching your TD passes from inside the athletic center or just outside of it?
  10. If all else falls through lets have Plumm donate a dollar for every word he posts on GMG.
  11. Statue of Liberty? Hook and Lateral? Sorry, couldn't resist since this same question is posted in some variation on every other board.
  12. Taking a look at the NTSports portion of the board I see that our ladies soccer team plays TWU at 2pm on Sunday. Watch the ladies play, then walk across the street for the Selection Sunday show? Sounds like a killer day of NT sports to me.
  13. It does mean something. Our opponents strength just went up.
  14. Brockeith Payne, PG from Dallas Carter- committed to Houston Jordan Smith 6'3" 175, SG from God's Academy(Colleyville)- Offers from NT and Liberty Joseph Fulce 6'7' 180,SF Woodstock Military Academy(VA)- Offfers from NT, Providence, Ill St, UNC-Wilmington and aTm (shows no interest in aTm) Anthony Harris 6'7" 225, PF from Christial Life Center Academy(Humble)- Offers from NT, Houston, Ok St, Utah, Prairie View, UNC-Wilmington...apparently he was originally signed with Prairie View but didn't have his SAT scores. Says he'd consider going back to PV but he's wide open. He's also a football prospect.
  15. Next year we do lose some big players with some big numbers. We lose KD who might be our most talented player. We lose C-Wat who, though we have all pulled our hair out at times because he's in love with the triple, has hit some HUGE shots during games. We lose Rich Young who I think played outstanding ball this year and especially when Davis was hurt and couldn't start in the tournament. And we lose Ruffin who I just think was a cool guy. Now, let's look at what we return. Starting PG- Ben Bell will be a senior Other guard- I would assume Sturns plays here and he'll be a senior Center- Wooden will be a senior Power Forward- Quincy will be a senior Small Forward- Harold Stewart? He'd be a junior. If this is the lineup it's a junior/senior laden bunch. Collin Mangrum can suck up quality minutes. I don't know what we've got in transfer Jonathan Jackson but he's a big frame at 6'8". Howerton is a big body if nothing else. Collin Dennis is another transfer that I'm not sure about...anyone know? Add all of this to what I've got to assume will be a much improved recruiting class and I'd say we're set up quite nicely. Any word on whether Flemings returning is a possibility? And where did Curtis Muse go?
  16. I can't comment on her being at the pep rally but she was one of only 50 or so Mean Green fans in Lafayette.
  17. Tell me about it. Can we get her quote printed out and put into the mailbox of every faculty member on campus?
  18. You are exactly right. I'll be perfectly honest I genuinely hate SMU. I get giddy when I get a loud noise call at an SMU party...I pray for the chance to write tickets. I about pee myself when I take one of them to jail. If I ever get the chance to pull Justin Willis or Phil Bennett over for DWI, provided they are drunk, I may pass out from happiness. So, yes, you are spot on.
  19. Gee, now why would you like white helmets?
